Kitchen Inspiration

I am so excited to start working on the kitchen. It is the heart of the home and a place you spend a lot of time in so to have it pretty and functional is important. I have some things very clear in my mind about how I want to change the kitchen but others that are not settled.

I know I want the wall to be removed, where the current oven is located. This will require a structural beam to be installed since this is one out of two load bearing wall. I know I want the oven to be relocated around where the dishwasher currently is and I want the sink to stay the same. I want the dishwasher to be on the left of the sink and I really hope I can fit in an island that can sit 3 table height stools.
I am unsure about that window. I want to keep it to allow more natural light in but it is quite large and takes up a lot of potential countertop space, which is one thing I want more of. I am unsure if I should get rid of the window all together or have a the countertop sized window? I also don't love the window because the neighbors can see into our home from there adjacent window. So currently the blind are almost fully shut. Would love some feedback or ideas if anyone has any

Below I will insert pictures off my Pintrest board (which I use as a vision board) for each room. If I know the source I will embed them in the picture, but I have mainly seen these off Pintrest and unsure of original source.

I want a wood island with Caesarstone’s Statuario Maximus quartz counter top. I want white upper and lower cabinets everything else. I would love to have another oven. The oven I posted above has a microwave built in above which I think is a nice idea to clear off counter space. I would also love to have a rang hood cover. The flooring will be the current vinyl we installed upstairs. I would very much like to have a large pull out drawer pantry. The pantry cupboard that is currently in our kitchen is quite small, and with just us two it stays fairly full.

Master Bedroom Reveal

ITS HERE! I have finally gotten to a place with our master bedroom where I can show you some reveal photos and information. Our bedroom is not done yet in my eye, I would like to add in some more decorative accents for sure. Decorate the dresser properly, switch out the night stands at some point etc. But as goes with design its ever evolving, changing, editing and fine tuning. I am so happy how it turned out. When I was designing this space in the beginning I really didn't have a strong vision of what I wanted the room to look like. I just knew how I wanted it to feel, and from there it just came together. I wanted the bedroom to feel calming, cool, yet cozy. I have a hard time sleeping so I do as much as I can to help myself sleep easier. You can read all about the finishes chosen in this previous post. I share everything from paint colour, light fixture, flooring etc. Can we all take a moment of silence for this BEAUTIFUL mirror/art piece. I was luckily enough to...

Master Suite Progress

Slowly but surly the master suite started to look like a livable space. It took up from February to June to be at the point for drywall to hang. The drywall and ceiling took I believe 2 weeks to completion and as soon as it was done I was painting. We started by moving out of our bedroom to one of the guest bedrooms, this room could only fit our bed which we had to skootch by the end of the bed and wall to access the closet. The dresser and my makeup station was in the other guest bedroom. We lived there for 5 months. When it was time for drywall we moved our bedroom to the main level, in the back living room where the fireplace was located. This was alright as we could fit all furniture in the room, and having the sliding back door open at night was nice to help cool us off in the hot summer nights. I did miss sleeping on our bed frame. When we moved down stairs we didn't bother setting up the bed as it was temporary. We slept there for another 2 months. ...

Living Space Inspiration

For the living space I want it to be comfy and welcoming yet functional and child friendly (for future, currently nonexistent children). My goal for this entire renovation process is to keep everything as timeless as possible and to think ahead. For intense The entire house is carpeted, minus the kitchen, mud room, and upstairs guest toilet. When we were working on our first phase of the project to removed all of the carpet on the second floor and replaced it with vinyl "wood" flooring. I was suggested to have vinyl in the guest bedrooms as it is easier to clean from potential spills and accidents.
